fer $4,200—The Total Over £93,000. 


- With the offering of the more important. 
of J. D. Ichenhéuser’s paintings at Men-. 
delssohn Hall last evening, prices improved 
‘over those of Thursday evening, many of 
the canvases bringing all that could be 
‘expected at a dealer’s sale of old masters, 
but there were still a number of pictures: 
_which went so low as to be investments. 

The buyers of French paintings were not 
out for this sale, and a Daubigny, which 
would have been likely to provoke a con- 
test at} many another sale; “River Scene. 
with Cattle, Moonrise,” went to a firm of 
Fifth avenue dealers for $2,000. 

The Paul Potter “Landscape and Cattle,” 
signed and. dated 1646, was bought at the 
highest figure of the sale, $5,000, by a pur- | 
chaser who did not wish to give his name. 
for publication. Sir Joshua Reynolds’s 
. “Portrait of Richard: Grenville, First Ear] 
Temple,”: sold at $4,200, to Frank Keeble, 
| who also. bought ‘Turner’s “Ehrenbreit- 
stein,” for $3,500. Mr. Kirby said that to 
| his knowledge Mr. Ichenhauser had on 
| several occasions refused $10,000 for this 
| Turner, which he valued at $20,000. 

“The Wreck,” by Turner, sold at $1,100; 
the same artist’s “View on the Neckar,” 
for $775; and his. two drawings of Lago 
|Maggiore subjects, at Locarno and Pal- 
‘lenza, for $425 and $500 respectively. 

_ John Ortgies, asagent, bought the portrait. 
‘of David Garrick by John Singleton Copley 
‘for $2,000. Arnaong the few works of modern 
'American painters in the sale Julian Rix’s 
“Barly: Autumn,” an unusually vigorous 
canvas, sold, at $975; “Hiding in the Hay- 
| cocks, % by Bliss Baker, for $590; and “Au- 
-tumn. Landscape,” by Ralph A. Blakelock, | 
| for $280. 9. 4

He withheld his name.

of the better-known men, the Lawretice |

Pigs,” at $875; Vincent’s “Country Lane,”

Kite,” at $2,050. Rubens’s “Pluto and 
| Proserpine” went for $2 ,260, and the Pieter,

INTRODUCTION 


Notwithstanding the variety that characterizes this collec- 
tion of pictures, there is running through it a prevailing note. 
Almost without exception, Mr.Ichenhauser has been influenced 
in his selection by a feeling for color. Consequently we may 
anticipate that the exhibition will be one of remarkable richness, 
and, with all its diversities, of a reasonable homogeneousness. 

For it hinges upon a notable gathering of portraits, inter- 
esting as examples of the artists represented and as portraits of 
historic personages. And if we pursue the analysis still further, 
we shall find the collection centres round the early art of Eng- 
land, including the work not only of Englishmen, but of those 
foreigners who were attracted thither, or whose works found 
favor there while still of small account in their own country; a 
summary which includes landscapes, as well as portraits. Out- 
side of this main group is a scattering of foreign painters, some 
few of whom belong to the nineteenth century. This is a fairly 
just characterization, and certainly a convenient one. 

England was first awakened to the dignity which painting 
had reached abroad in the reign of Henry VIII., when Holbein 
visited the country. His literal fidelity of portraiture and his 
power as a colorist coincided with and established a racial prefer- 
ence that was to be more or less the distinguishing trait of Eng- 
lish appreciation. ‘The great German is not represented in this 
collection, the earliest example in connection with England being 
Cornelis Janssens Van Ceulen’s Portrait of the Queen of 
Bohemia. She was the daughter of James I., and destined by 
her marriage with the Elector Palatine to become the progeni- 


trix of the House of Hanover. We shall scarcely discover any 
suggestion of the coarseness of the Georges in this delicately 
refined face and in the grave sobriety of the costume. The 
painter’s position at the Court of St. James was seriously im- 
paired when, in 1682, Charles I. invited thither Anthony Van 
Dyck. The latter, as Walpole tells us, was accustomed to 
receive £60 for a full-length, and £40 for a half-length portrait, 
charging his royal patron an average of about £50, which was 
not infrequently reduced. In the present collection are two 
examples of his art: portraits of Queen Henrietta Maria, and of 
the celebrated architect, Inigo Jones. The great artist “‘ loved ”’ 
the latter, and his portrait of him is one of the most virile and 
sympathetic interpretations of a fine head that one could desire 
to see, while his portrait of the queen is a beautiful example of 
his courtliness of style, wherein the exquisite costume is treated 
with a breadth and nuance indescribably splendid. : 
These were times of splendor, following on the spacious 
days of the great Elizabeth and the renaissance of English lit- 
erature under the inspiration of Shakespeare and Ben Jonson. 
There was to be a setback, however, in the necessary but artis- 
tically obnoxious interruption of the Puritan movement, to be 
followed in turn by the inevitable reaction of the looser morals 
and lower ideals of the Restoration. Sir Peter Lely, who had 
arrived in England in 1641, the year following Van Dyck’s 
death, weathered the tumultuous time, and under Charles II. 
was made principal painter to the Court. He is represented on 
this occasion by three charming portraits of children, one of 
them of special interest, since it represents the noble and ill-fated 
Algernon Sidney, and by the portrait of a grande dame, the 
Countess of Peterborough. In this there is a certain affectation 
of pose, but with what a gusto the gown is painted! We are 
reaching a period when the braveries of velvets and satins loom 
up very large in the artist’s eye. We may as well acknowledge 


it, and, while recognizing the inferiority of motive as compared 
with that of psychological study of character, yet allow it due 
meed of praise. There is a joy in sumptuousness of fabric; we 
realize it to-day, and so did Kneller. 

The latter reached London in 1674, and soon secured the 
notice of Charles II., who, to save himself trouble, as Walpole 
relates, sat to both Lely and Kneller at the same time. The 
latter’s picture was finished first, and his fame at Court, thus 
established, continued through the reigns of the succeeding 
sovereigns into that of George I. His ‘‘ Portrait of Queen 
Anne ’’ in this collection is a fine example of his facile skill in 
the rendering of sumptuous fabrics, while that of ‘‘ Richard 
Lord Clifford and Lady Jane, His Sister,’’ distinguished by 
similar qualities, betrays also the meretriciousness and affecta- 
tion of his style, which were due as much to his English envi- 
“ronment as to his German temperament; representing, indeed, 
an amalgam of the two. 

If we digress for a moment from following the course in 
England, we may note how the Frenchmen, Mignard, Largilliére 
and Vanloo, with their finer racial instinct, could give a subtle 
allurement to portraits of no more seriousness psychologically. 
Nor is it entirely a digression, for the picture by the last named 
is a portrait of that brilliant and erratic Englishwoman, Lady 
Mary Wortley Montagu; while one of the examples of Largil- 
liére represents the Princess Sobieski, wife of the elder Pretender 
to the English throne. A refined elegance distinguishes these 
portraits, the latter being especially beautiful in color, and painted 
with extreme delicacy. Again, in Mignard’s ‘‘ Portrait of Anne 
of Austria’’ the magnificent costume plays the largest part in 
the conception; but with what a frankness of motive and painter- 
like reserve the artist has confined himself to simply rendering 
its various characteristics of splendor! On the other hand, the 
jnterest of Drouais’s ‘‘ Portrait of Buffon ’’ consists in the preci- 


sion with which it records the great naturalist’s exceptionally 
noble head. As a picture it will not compare with the work of 
his English contemporary, Reynolds. For with Drouais we 
have reached the latter half of the eighteenth century, by which 
period a school of native art has arisen in England, and English 
artists have for a time a monopoly of what is vital in the world 
of painting. 

The collection recalls the founder of the English school in 
one picture by Hogarth, ‘‘ The Greenroom’’; a reminder of 
the interest which the painter, himself so dramatic, maintained 
in the drama, and an example of one of his ‘‘ Conversation 
Pieces,’’ as they were called at the time, in which he introduced 
many figures, for the most part portraits, in characteristic 
sroups. It also includes specimens of the work of Wilson, 
Romney, Reynolds and Gainsborough, and by the first-named 
a rare example of his art in portraiture, ‘‘Girl with Bird’s 
Nest,’’ a very sweet study of a dreamy-eyed, entirely childlike 
child. His portraits, examples of which are in the Garrick Club 
and several private collections in England, were mostly executed 
before his visit to Italy in 1749. Gainsborough’s portrait of 
Lord Dundonald is a good example of his feeling for delicate 
tonality; while that of ‘‘ Lady Buller,’’ very choicely reserved 
in color, has some beautiful passages of painting in the flesh 
parts, and notably in the hand. In both portraits the nature of 
the subject stands out with quiet force, tinctured in the manner 
of presentment by the artist’s own. Of the two portraits by Sir 
Joshua in this collection, the ‘‘ Richard Grenville, First Earl 
Temple,’’ is a most important work: the picture of a full-sized 
figure in the robes of a peer, with the regalia of the Order 
of the Garter, drawn and painted in the artist’s most magisterial 
manner, and in perfect preservation. 

The reputation of English painting, and the estimation in 
which portraiture was held in England, drew thither painters 


from abroad. The young Swiss, Angelica Kauffmann, was 
introduced in 1765 by the wife of the English ambassador at 
Naples. Her beauty and many accomplishments, coupled with 
the sad romance of her life—for she had been entrapped into a 
marriage with the valet of the Swedish Count de Horn, who 
had impersonated his master—made her the admired of society. 
How she herself shared the admiration can be seen in the 
portrait of herself in this collection; very sweet and elegant, 
and affectedly conscious. 

How different in character is the ‘* Portrait of Mozart the 
Elder,’’ by another visiting stranger, Johann Zoffany; entirely 
unaffected, as it is uninspired, a bluntly truthful record of the 
visual facts, and not without some dignity of color. Benjamin 
West, who is represented by a water-color, ‘‘ Agrippina,”’ 
reached London in 1768, and at this period Copley was already 
sending pictures from Boston for exhibition in London. He 
finally settled there in 1775 and secured speedy recognition. 
Two of his portraits are here, ‘‘ David Garrick ’’ and the ‘‘ Chil- 
dren of the Pelham Family ’’; the latter, a particularly impor- 
tant example. In that same year, 1775, Gilbert Stuart arrived 
in London and was befriended by West. ‘Ten years later he 
set up his own studio, and in the seven years which intervened 
before his final return to America, in 1792, achieved an unpar- 
alleled success. His portrait of ‘‘ Dr. Fothergill,’’ in this col- 
leetion, ranks among his best. The famous London physician 
was a close friend of Franklin’s, and understood and sympathized 
with the American Colonists; and Stuart has painted his head 
with the mingled tenderness of feeling and virility that he 
expended only upon subjects who interested him deeply. 

Among the younger contemporaries of Reynolds none so 
well maintained the dignity of the early movement as Raeburn ; 


and his portrait in this collection, of ‘‘ James Innes-Ker,’’ is a 


striking specimen of his forcible characterization and honest 


manliness of style. These qualities were to appear but fitfully 
among the lesser men who followed. Yet Lawrence, who did 
so much to prettify the art, is represented here by two works of 
serious dignity ; ‘‘ Miss Cuthbert,’’ and the portrait of one of his 
assistants, ‘‘ Richard Evans.’’ There are three examples by 
Opie, a single one by Hoppner, two by Shee, and a good 
example of Beechey ; while Pickersgill’s portrait of ‘‘ Words- 
worth,’’ both for the subject and for its rendering, is a work of 
more than ordinary interest. This portion of the summary may 
be concluded with the mention of Leslie’s ‘‘ Duke and Duchess 
Reading,’’ one of his little pictures of ‘‘ genteel comedy,’’ skil- 
fully executed, and very choice in feeling. 

The early landscape art of England is represented by ex- 
amples of the well-known men, and of many of those who are 
in less repute, while no less than nine Turners are included. — 
Wilson appears with three Italian scenes, one of them a view 
of Tivoli from nearly the same spot as in the larger ‘‘ Tivoli 
Landscape’’ which recently belonged to the Warren Collec- 
tion. There is also a landscape by George Barrett, who, as 
master painter to Chelsea Hospital, was receiving £2,000 a year 
for his pictures, while Wilson’s went begging. ‘‘ The Carrier’s 
Cart ’’ is a good instance of one of Gainsborough’s minor works, 
while out of six canvases by Morland the ‘‘ Sow and Pigs ”’ 
is a superlatively fine example. By his brother-in-law, James 
Ward, are two subjects of horses; one of them, ‘‘ Horses, Morn- 
ing,’’ being particularly good in drawing and color. He worked 
in the manner of Morland, and unscrupulous persons have not 
hesitated at times to substitute the latter’s signature and sell 
the pictures as his. 

Of the Norwich school there is one example by Stark, two 
charming landscapes by Vincent, an unusually important one 
by William Collins, and three ‘‘Old Cromes’’; among the 
latter a ‘‘Moonlight’’ of splendid quality and_ strength. 


The single Constable, ‘‘ Man Watering Horse,’’ is a small 
picture, but characteristically forceful. Others which should 
be noticed are an excellent ‘‘Sea Piece and Shipping,’’ by 
Callcott ; a ‘‘Street Scene,’’ by Caleb R. Stanley; a ‘‘ Rough 
Sea,” by J. Stannard; and a very handsome modern picture, 
** Spanish Fishermen,’’ by Frank Brangwyn. 

The nine pictures by Turner include three oil paintings and 
six water-colors. Three of the latter are from the ‘‘ Liber 
Studiorum,’’ numbers 7, 33 and 48, respectively ; examples 
of extreme rarity, and in their delicacy of method and compre- 
hensiveness of suggestion fully justifying the repute in which 
the series is held. Nor could one imagine more exquisite water- 
colors than the two views of ‘‘ Lago di Maggiore,’’ indescrib- 
ably dainty, extraordinarily full of character. Of the three oil 
paintings the finest,is, perhaps, the ‘‘ View on the Neckar,’’ in 
which the grandeur of the natural facts are supplemented by so 
beautiful a spirit of imagination. 

The review of the pictures of the English school shall be 
concluded with a reference to two full-sized heads of dogs by 
Landseer. In their structural drawing, in the broad finish with 
which the hair is rendered, and in the expression of character, 
unmixed with any sentimental allusion, they represent the great 
animal painter in one of his strongest phases. 

The collection includes six examples of American landscapes 
—a Julian Rix; a William Keith; a Bunce; ‘‘ Hiding in the 
Haycocks,’’ a rare example of Wm. Bliss Baker, whose achieve- 
ment and still greater promise were cut off by his early death; 
and two examples by Blakelock, one of them, ‘‘ Autumn 
Landscape,’’ being a picture of very subtle charm. 

Among the sprinkling of modern pictures should be noticed 
a particularly handsome ‘‘ Coast with White Cliffs,’’ by Cour- 
bet, a large and sketchy, but very delicate, Daubigny, and For- 
tuny’s study for ‘‘The Spanish Marriage.’’ Following back 


to the eighteenth century, we shall find two of Paul Joseph 
Sauvage’s very interesting imitations of bas-reliefs, and from 
the previous century one of Gaspard Poussin’s warm-toned, 
finely composed Italian landscapes. 

Representing Italian art are the following : A moderate 
portrait by Tintoretto; a curious subject of the infant Christ 
asleep upon a cross, by Guido Reni; a study by Ricci, and 
good examples of Canaletto and Guardi; while an exquisitely 
beautiful drawing by Raphael, a study for ‘‘ The Entomb- 
ment,’’ in the Borghese Palace, is one of the choice, particular 
gems of the collection. A very interesting fountain subject 
by Velasquez seems to be an echo of his visit to Italy. 

Mention has been made of the Van Dyck examples, and 
among the other representations of the Flemish school is a 
study by Rubens for his large picture, ‘‘ Pluto and Proserpine, ” 
in the Madrid Museum. The Dutch pictures include a rare 
example of Dirk van Deelen, whose subjects of Italian archi- 
tecture were filled in by Van Herp, Palamedes, Stevens and 
W ouverman—in this case by the first named. Another instance 
of collaboration is ‘‘ Christ upon the Sea,’’ in which the tumul- 
tuous water, represented with fine freedom of movement and 
beauty of color, was executed by the best known of the Dutch 
marine painters, Willem Van de Velde the younger, while the 
figures were added by the younger Teniers. It is a picture of 
quite remarkable impressiveness. ‘There is a good example also 
of that other eminent marine painter, Ludolf Backhuysen. By 
Gerard Van Honthorst, who studied, and acquired the style of, 
Caravaggio, in Italy, is a large subject, ‘‘St. Matthew at the 
Receipt of Custom,’’ naively unreligious in its conception, but a 
work that commands attention by the strength of the character- 
ization in the several heads and by the accomplished facility with 
which the draperies are painted. An unusual example of Cuyp’s 
versatility is the fine ‘‘ Portrait of a Gentleman’’; and by his 


| 
| 
| 
: 


father, Jacob Gerritsz, appears an exceedingly honest, interest- 
ing subject, ‘* Girl with Orange.’’ Wynants is represented by 
a charmingly characteristic subject from the neighborhood of 
Haarlem; Berchem, by ‘‘ Man Cleaning White Horse’’; Ostade, 
by a choice little picture, ‘‘ Man beside a Cottage’’; and Pieter 
de Hooghe, by a quite important interior. A portrait by Rem- 
brandt, of his son Titus, is a fairly good example of the noble 
gravity of his method, with richness of color, firm and luminous 
flesh, and a general handsomeness of pictorial arrangement. 

But the finest example of the Dutch school, the picture 
which, perhaps, emerges most triumphantly from all the others 
in the collection, is the ‘‘ Landscape with Cattle,’’ by Paul Pot- 
ter. This is a work of magnificent vigor and grandeur of color, 
full of natural feeling for the cattle and the landscape, and remark- 
ably effective in composition ; a picture that is no mere tour de 
force, but a splendid exhibition of wholesome, luxurious strength. 

This brief summary would seem to prove how diverse in 
character the collection is, demanding a constant change in the 
attitude of one’s mind as one turns from picture to picture ; and 
the more so since the owner has frequently, in the case both of 
portraits and landscapes, penetrated into paths of selection un- 
familiar to the general student in this country. Such examples 
have their varying degree of interest, whether for painter-like 
qualities or for the link they supply in the history of art, or for 
their reference to the outside history of their day. But the 
majority of the names, among which the less familiar are 
sprinkled, need no introduction. The examples of their work 
will be found to present a very good average of quality, empha- 
sized by no inconsiderable percentage of work of first-class 
character. It is thus a collection that offers much valuable 
material for the attention of museums, and much to stimulate 
the appetite of the individual collector.

Standing in the water, which extends across the front of 
the picture, is a horse with a man on its back. On the left 
of the pond, beside a willow tree, appears a cottage with yellow- 
ish walls and brown roof. Across the water are large trees, 
under one of which sits a woman in a white apron, while beyond 
the meadow is a view of distant woods. The little picture has 
the large gravity of Constable’s more important work.

This scene of rugged road and sand dunes is a characteristic 
subject of the artist, reminiscent of the country round Haarlem, 
where he spent sixty years of his life. 

_ A stream winds through the left of the composition, with 
dark olive scrub and grass on the left bank. On the opposite 
side a rough road follows its course, passing beneath a shelv- 
ing wall of sand, which is crowned with vegetation, while near 
the front a shattered tree-stem rears up, with fronds of foliage 
sprouting from its base. Below it, on the road, a man with a 
gun stops to speak to a woman who is seated, his two dogs 
meanwhile resting; and along the road, in the middle distance, 
moves another person. ‘These tiny figures are full of animation. 
At the end of the road are two elm trees, beyond which show 
distant blue hills under a warm slaty sky, that reddens as it rises, 
until it finishes in blue.

represents him standing before a ruined temple, at the head of a 
group of soldiers and Arabs who have exhumed amummy. Two 
men are kneeling beside the open sarcophagus, while two others 
hold up the mummy for the savant’s inspection. In contrast 
with his rapt contemplation is the nonchalance of an Arab 
who sits beside a fallen piece of masonry, smoking a long pipe. 
At the back of the group, soldiers are on guard at the entrance 
to the temple enclosure, within which stand pillars with lotus-

gray as it reaches the pale greenish blue of the upper heaven. 
The sun shines full upon the cliffs and on the sheet of turquoise 
sea which extends to the reddish-brown sand in the foreground. 
On the right of this, in shadow, rises a steep formation of pur-

34—PORTRAIT OF ALGERNON SIDNEY 


In view of the tragic end of the gifted and noble Algernon 
Sidney, this portrait of him as a boy, painted for his mother, 
the Countess of Leicester, has a pathetic interest. The large 
gray eyes look steadily to the front, the mouth also is large and 
full of expression, and the finely shaped head is covered with 
blond hair that falls in soft waves to the shoulders. The bust, 
facing three-quarters to the left, is clad in a plum-colored robe, — 
which shows a little white beneath the chin. 

Algernon Sidney was born in 1622, a son of the second 
Earl of Leicester. When the Civil War broke out he took the 
side of the Parliament, and was severely wounded at the battle 
of Marston Moor. He sat as one of the judges at the trial of 
Charles I., though he was not present when sentence was pro- 
nounced, and did not sign the warrant for execution. Never- 
theless, he characterized it as the ‘‘justest and bravest action 
that was ever done in England or elsewhere.’’ He lived abroad 
in exile for nearly eighteen years until he was pardoned by 
Charles II. But he was regarded as a dangerous character, 
and at the discovery of the Rye House Plot was attainted on 
suspicion of complicity. The only witness against him was the 
self-confessed traitor, Lord Howard, and though two witnesses 
were necessary to convict, the notorious Judge Jeffreys garbled 
the law and condemned him. He was beheaded on Tower 


Hill, 1683.

42—THE QUACK DOCTOR 

Notwithstanding a tall window to the left, the drab interior 
is dimly lighted and, with its rows of jars on shelves, accumu- 
lation of apparatus and numerous figures, presents a crowded 
appearance. The centre of the scene is the doctor himself, in a 
black gown edged with fur, who is seated at a table on which 
a volume of Galen, open at the beginning of the first book, 
rests against a globe, inscribed with the signs of the zodiac. 
He leans back to address a young woman who stands behind 
his chair, with her hands pressed timidly together, while an 
old woman at her back is making a gesture with her forefinger. 
In front of the doctor’s table, upon the floor, lie an astrolabe, 
some jars and phials. In a group to the right are three boys, 
one of whom holds a pair of bellows. Behind them in the rear 
corner of the room some apprentices are preparing medicines 
at a counter, while on the opposite side of the background a

with brown sail, in which are five men. To the left another 
is heading up to windward, and behind it in the distance 
a frigate approaches. Upon the left of the composition lies a

44COAST SCENE—MOONLIGHT 


The sky, a luminous olive green, barred with concentric 
broken rings of cirrus, indigo in hue, grows gradually yellow 
towards the horizon, where the full moon shows over a bed of 
dark slaty cloud. Its reflection streams across the gray and 
brown sea, to a fishing-vessel that looms up on the sand in the 
foreground, a mass of luminous dark brown. ‘The mast is un- 
stepped and a sail clings to it, another sail drooping on the sand 
from a spar. Through the darkness upon the left a dredging- 
hook is visible, and off to the right, near the edge of the water, 
two men have kindled a small fire, whose crimson glow affords a 
beautiful contrast to the pale light around it. In the offing to 
the left a sail-boat is faintly distinguishable. 

With its rich tonality, fine atmospheric quality and solidly 
drawn foreground, the picture is a most impressive example of 
the Norwich master.

curls on each side of the brows and is frizzed over the crown, 
and decorated with a sprig of apple blossom. The silk gown of 
delicate Nile blue has a turn-over collar, pearly pink, coming 
down to a low point on the breast, where a crimson flower and 
golden-brown leaves nestle against the lace of the chemise. 
Three pearls are fastened to the top of the shoulder, and the

of Santa Maria della Salute. Mounting the steps to the 
entrance and dotted over the wide quay in front are numerous 
figures, one beside the stairway, which descends to the water, 
talking to a man who stands in a boat. Other craft lie near the 
wall to the right, and in the forepart of the water are two 
gondolas, one containing three women and a man, besides the 
gondolier. A brown structure stands on the left of the church, 
and to the right is a stretch of buildings, over the top of which 
show a campanile and a dome. The sober color scheme is 
extremely rich in tone, and the character of the scene, both in 
its architectural features and in the animation of the figures, 
is represented with delightful spirit.

The romantic temperament of the artist appears in this 
‘portrait of herself. The head inclines back on the long slender 
neck, the gray-blue eyes are raised with an expression of sad 
longing, and the costume is an elegant adaptation of the 
Greek. A white veil, blue in the shadows of the folds, lies 
upon her blond, lightly powdered hair, which falls in ringlets over 
her forehead and strays in curls on to her shoulders. Round her 
neck is a gold band with a row of pendants. Her gown is of 
creamy material, short-sleeved and low-necked, falling over the 
bosom in a series of festoons, while a bluish-gray mantle, edged 
with a filigree gold border, drooping from the shoulders, is 
drawn together in front by her left hand, over which the other 
is languidly laid. The figure is silhouetted against a dark olive 
background, gradually growing lighter towards the right.

50—PORTRAIT OF INIGO JONES 


The subject of this superb portrait, the architect Inigo 
Jones, was born in 1572. ‘‘ His name alone,’’ writes Walpole, 
‘‘would save England from the reproach of not having her 
representative among the arts; she adopted Holbein and Van 
Dyck; she borrowed Rubens; she produced Inigo Jones.’’ 
His early promise attracted the notice of William, Earl of Pem- 
broke, an eminent patron of the arts, who sent him abroad to 
study in France and Italy. Upon his return he was made gen- 
eral inspector of royal buildings by James I. Among his prin- 
cipal works are the Banqueting Hall at Whitehall, the Palace 
at Greenwich and Greenwich Hospital, the portico of St. Paul’s, 
and the Royal Exchange. He died in 1651. ‘‘ Van Dyck,”’ 
says Cunningham, ‘‘ loved him much and painted him often.’’ 
One of these portraits is in the Hermitage, St. Petersburg. 

The present one represents the head and bust facing three- 
quarters to the right. The grand head, impetuous and proud 
in character, with alert gray eyes, that have the iris large, is 
inclined to the left and slightly raised, a black velvet skull-cap 
surmounting the brown ringlets. A thin mustache trims the 
upper lip, and the lower slightly protrudes above the white 
pointed beard. The fiesh tones are luminous and glowing with 
vigorous health. A broad collar of lace falls over the black 
velvet robe.

52—LADY MARY WORTLEY MONTAGU 


A daughter to the Earl of Kingston, and second cousin on 
her mother’s side to Fielding, the subject of this portrait, even 
in childhood, was a favorite of society for her wit and beauty. 
In 1716 she married without her father’s consent Edward Wort- 
ley Montagu, and accompanied him to Constantinople, where 
he was ambassador to the Porte. Upon her return to England 
in 1718 she had a bitter quarrel with Pope, who had been her 
friend. In 1739 she left her husband and resided chiefly in 
Italy, dying, however, in England in 1762. She is remembered 
for her brilliant letters written during her travels, published by 
her great-grandson, Lord Whanrncliffe, in 1887. 

The lady is dressed in Turkish costume, the figure, seen 
to the waist, being almost full face. A turban of soft gray ma- 
terial sprigged with cream, with a veil at the back, is set upon 
her dark hair, which is brushed off her forehead in curls, and 
hangs down in a long plait over the right shoulder. The head 
is inclined to the left with a suggestion of coquetry, that is con- 
tradicted by the large brown eyes, wide apart and far-reaching 


in their gaze, but echoed in the dainty tilt of the nose and 
in the delicate expression of raillery in the little, flexible lips. 
She wears pearls in her ears and a chain of slender gold links 
round her tapering neck. The folds of a citron-colored robe are 
crossed over her bosom, and kept in place by a scarf-belt, fas- 
tened with a buckle of two large disks. An olive-gray cloak, 
edged with white fur, hangs from her shoulders. 

‘The remarkable personality of the subject lends an interest 
to this portrait, which is also a good example of a painter highly 
honored in his day both in France and Italy.

a fringe of soft wisps spreading over the forehead. ‘The sweet 
little face, so earnest and childlike, has blue, dreamy eyes, 
freshly colored cheeks, and a pretty purse to the lips. She is 
standing on a slope of brown meadow under the foliage of two

and curled in a single roll over each ear. The gray eyes have 
an expression of quiet, earnest directness; the mouth is firm and

is a neat turn-over collar of soft white material, from which the 
cravat-ends hang low down over a coat and waistcoat of pale

67—PORTRAIT OF JOHN FOTHERGILL, M.D. 


In the grave dignity of the whole composition, and in the 
masterly painting of the head and hands especially, this portrait 
is a superb example of Stuart’s art. The subject, also, is one 
of peculiar interest. Of Quaker stock, born in Wensleydale, 
Yorkshire, and educated at Edinburgh, Dr. Fothergill became 
one of the most successful physicians in London. He had 
family connections with the American Colonists, and, when 
troubles began to arise between them and the mother country, 
made patriotic efforts to produce a better feeling, writing a 
pamphlet entitled ‘‘ Considerations Relative to the North Amer- 
ican Colonies ’’ and associating himself closely with Franklin. 
The two became firm friends, and Franklin’s words, on hearing 
of Fothergill’s death, were, ‘‘I can hardly conceive that a better 
man ever existed. ”’ 

The subject, seen to the knees and almost full face, is 
seated in an armchair covered with Spanish leather, the strong, 
placid head and the erect figure in its severe drab costume being 
outlined against a dark brown background. The gray wig is cut 
square across the forehead, lying trim and close to the head and 
curled at the side in a series of horizontal rolls. The eyebrows 


are straight and delicate, with breadth of space between the blue 
eyes; the nose is long and pronouncedly aquiline, and the mouth 
wide, with mingled sweetness and decision. An open volume 
lies upon the knees, covering the left hand, while the right is laid 
against the leaves. 

It is doubtful if Stuart ever painted anything finer than this 
portrait, masterly in technique, so sympathetic and discerning 
in its rendering of character.

brackets over the casement, stands on the right of the picture; 
roses grow over it, and a mass of brown leafage overhangs the 
roof. In the doorway stands a woman with her baby, and by 
her side is a child blowing a trumpet. To the left of them 
a girl is hanging clothes upon a line. On the opposite side 
of the doorway a man stands watching a woman as she plies 
her flax-wheel. In the centre of the foreground a girl in 
crimson petticoat balances a basket on her head. Behind her, — 
on the left of the picture, is a circular well-head, on which a 
rooster is perched.

71—PORTRAIT OF QUEEN ANNE on 
STIO-” oe Vo feria 


The queen is represented full length, standing with her right 
elbow on a truncated column that is covered with a mauve silk 
cloth, embroidered and fringed with gold. On it rests her crown. 
With her left hand she lifts her crimson cloak, so as to reveal its 
ermine lining. It is worn over a loose silk robe of lapis-lazuli 
blue, that masses itself in free folds upon the floor. The robe 
meets low down upon the bosom, its edges adorned, like the 
chemise, with Flanders lace, while the open sleeves are caught 
together with jewels over the white silk under-sleeve, which is 
looped up to the elbows. The face is crowned with clusters of 
black curls, a big one allowed to droop over each shoulder and 
a tight little twirl adorning each side of the forehead. Pearls 
depend from the ears and are strung round the neck, and a large 
brooch is fastened on the breast. A toy terrier is gambolling at 
the base of the column. The figure is seen against a mass of 
olive-brown masonry, with a bush of crimson roses on the right, 
beyond which, in the distance, is a view of Windsor Castle, 
framed in by trees. 

The picture is chiefly the glorification of a superb costume, 
rendered, however, with an elegance and verve that represent 
the painter at his best.

The three children are grouped out of doors beside a steep 
bank, on which an apple tree grows among some bushes. On 
the left stands a little girl whose face and blond curls are 
framed in the large circular brim of a blue hat decorated with 
blue and white feathers. With both hands she holds up the 
skirt of her white dress so as to form a pocket, in which lie some 
apples. She wears a blue sash, while red slippers show below 
the long petticoat. To the right of her, the older of the two 
brothers, perched on the bank and holding to a bough, is handing 
down to her another apple. He is dressed in a dull crimson 
suit with a large white frill round the neck. ‘The little boy 
is in act of climbing up the bank, turning his head at the 
moment to look to the front. His suit is of dull yellow, set 
off with a blue sash. On the left of the foreground a white 
hat with a band of blue ribbon lies upon the grass.

In this landscape, the largest that Collins ever painted, the 
horizon is piled with whitish cumulus, and the gray expanse 
above is streaked with shreds of distant rain-mist from a sooty 
overhanging cloud. The light falls variously over the landscape, 
which is intersected by a little river. In the foreground the 
water and the right bank are in deep shadow, and the cool green 
meadows, which stretch away to a great distance, are barred 
with pale yellow, while the opposite shore is bathed in warmth. 
On a log by the riverside a man in his shirt sleeves sits, baiting 
a hook, and behind him a woman and a boy, carrying sheaves, 
are approaching under the branches of a brownish-green tree 
on their way from gleaning in a golden wheat-field, where the 
harvest is being gathered up. The field is bounded by a hori- 
zontal strip of trees, among which a spire and red and white 
cottages appear. Beyond them the ground rises to a point and 
slopes gradually to the left, and in the farthest distance lies a 
range of hills.

74—PORTRAIT OF MOZART THE ELDER 


Leopold Mozart, the subject of this portrait, father of the 
great composer, and himself a violin-teacher, visited England 
in 1764, when the boy genius was eight years old, and remained 
until late in 1766. By this time Zoffany, who had arrived in 
1758, was in great repute as a portrait painter. 

Seated in an alcove, from which stretches back a long 
salon of the old Kew Palace, the gentleman is seen full length, 
the left elbow resting on a table and the fingers held against 
the cheek. He wears a gray wig, smooth upon the top and 
rolled over the ears; a coat of dark blue velvet, the edges 
bordered and cross-strapped with gold braid; a stiff collar, and 
lace cravat hanging half way down the blue satin waistcoat; 
black velvet breeches and white silk stockings, and black velvet 
shoes with silver buckles. Among the various objects on the 
table is a beautifully painted violin. 

The figure is uniformly lighted with cool, clear light, but 
through the high windows of the salon, sunshine strikes in 
patches on the floor. Between the windows are console tables, 
with tall mirrors above them, which reflect the pictures upon 
the opposite wall, and in one case a window with a garden 
beyond.

has turned to crimson. At this point the ground descends

PAINTING, “THE ENTOMBMENT” 


This gem of rare value, executed in sepia, on vellum, is the 
original study for Raphael’s picture of “*'The Entombment’’ in | 
the Borghese Palace. 

On the background of rock is inscribed, in Hebrew charac- 
ters, the text from the Gospel commencing, ‘‘ He went to 
Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.’’ Joseph of Arimathza 
is seen at the head of the hewn tomb, with his hands under the 
Saviour’s armpits, as the disciples Peter and John lower the 
body by means of a white linen cloth. In the foreground 
the Magdalen kneels to kiss the feet, her hair streaming on 
the ground. Beyond the figure of Peter, on the left, a woman 
stoops beneath the Christ’s arm, which she has passed over 
her shoulders, holding His hand in hers. Behind her, another 
woman sustains the drooping form of the Virgin. 

Notwithstanding the smallness of the figures and the free- 
dom of the brushwork, the character of each person, his or her 
share in the incident, and separate kind of emotion are rendered 
with a completeness and a degree of reverential tenderness 


indescribable. In the grandeur of suggestion, also, the diminu- 
tive scale is forgotten.

Water Color 


Mrs. Keevil Davies was an intimate friend of Ruskin’s, 
who had known her since she was twelve years old. The por- 
trait was painted about 1873, at Brantwood, Coniston Lake. 

The lady’s face is represented in profile against a pale blue 
background stippled with white. The dark hair, except for a 
few little wisps over the forehead, is drawn up into a roll at the 
top, garnished with a black bow set on lace, and hangs at the 
back of the head in an ample chignon. On the black velvet 
round her neck are two rows of turquoise; and from a chain 
threaded with turquoise a cross is suspended on her bosom. 
The bodice is of a deeper blue, cut to a V in front, with edgings 
of lace. The prevalence of blue in this picture recalls the fact 
that, in his lectures at Oxford about the time in which this pic- 
ture was executed, Ruskin would habitually wear a bright blue 
necktie, which was in lively contrast to the rusty green of his 
cap and gown.

86-—THE MAGDALEN WASHING THE FEET OF 
CHRIST 


Study 


The subject represented is the incident of the feast given 
by Simon the Pharisee when the Magdalen washed the feet of 
Christ with her tears. 

The table is set under a portico, across the ceiling of which 
a dull purple velarium is hanging, and beyond this immediate 
foreground appear various structures of classical design. The 
Christ, seated at the head of the table on the left, has raised one 
hand in admonition, and with the other is pointing to the Mag- 
dalen, who kneels across the front. His head, surrounded by a 
luminous aura, is turned towards His companion at the feast. 
One of these has a goblet raised in his left hand, and a napkin 
held fastidiously in the other, while an older man at the Christ’s 
side pauses in his eating, holding a fork in the air as he sternly 
and intently listens to the words of the Man who undertakes 
to forgive sins. At the right end of the table a youth leans 
forward, as if about to offer a napkin to the Magdalen.

The subject of this portrait is the Princess Elizabeth,

princes Rupert and Maurice, and Sophia who married the Elec- 
tor of Hanover and became the mother of George I. She is 
commonly known by the title of Queen of Bohemia (1596— 
1662). 

The figure is shown to a little below the waist, slightly 
inclined towards the left. A black cap, with high round 
crown and flapping brim that widens at the back and hangs in 
a deep valance, surmounts the brown hair, which is frizzed and 
puffed over the ears. The face is delicately modelled in pale, 
ivory-like tones, faintly rose upon the cheeks; and the eyes, 
which glance straight out of the picture, are brown and limpid. 
Over the tight-fitting black silk dress is a stiff white tippet, 
fitting close to the neck in a band of black silk, cross-laced with 
black over the breast, and spreading across the shoulders. The 
portrait is exquisitely refined in tone and in expression.

while her elbow rests upon the arm of the chair. Her head-

droops from her shoulders, and the gown is worn very low upon 
the breast, the bodice being formed of dove-gray silk, folding 
across the figure and fastened with a large garnet brooch, from 
which depend two strings of pearls. The edge of the bodice is

97—LANDSCAPE WITH RUINED CHURCH 


The landscape, rich in tone under the glow of the late 
afternoon sun, presents a familiar scene of rural beauty, distin- 
guished, however, by the unusual feature of a ruined church. 
The latter is on the right of the middle distance, a background 
of golden-brown and green oaks softening the jagged outline of 
what is left of the tower: one side, and a fragment of the retain- 
ing wall and of the chancel end with its empty window. Close 
against this nestles a low, thatched cottage, by the side of which 
is a gate leading into a meadow, where another cottage shows — | 
among the trees. Three ducks are swimming in a pool at the 
right of the foreground, and from the centre stretches back a 


winding road. Presently it is crossed by a bar of yellow sun- 

light, and here a woman walks beside a pack-donkey, making | 

her way towards a farmhouse with tall red chimney that lies in 

the distance, framed in with trees.. The sky above the horizon 

is slaty-hued, with rooks winging their way home across it, and 

higher up passes to gray, which grows to warm cream as it : 

verges on the pale blue of the zenith. | 
The picture, so true to nature, pure in color and of luxu- | 

rious tonality, executed with a mingling of breadth and finish,

A precipitous wall of rocks fills the background, except for 
a little patch of light high up on the right. The gray boulders 
are green with moss and lichen, and embrowned with dry fern, 
and below them a path slopes steeply up towards the right. At 
the foot of the ascent a figure in scarlet appears in front of four 
slim birch trees, leaning forward, as if watching for the arrival 
of some one. On the opposite side of the foreground a stream 
purls along its stony bed, and on the bank above it springs a

99—JAMES INNES-KER, AFTERWARDS FIFTH 
EARL OF ROXBURGH 


On the death of the fourth Earl of Roxburgh, in 1805, 
without surviving issue, James Innes-Ker laid claim to the 
earldom, on the strength of his great-grandfather’s marriage to 
the granddaughter by a second marriage of the first Earl of 
Roxburgh. In 1812 the House of Lords granted him the title. 

The body is shown full front, nearly to the waist, clad in a 
double-breasted black coat, buttoned up to the white cravat, that 
is tied in a little bow. ‘The strong head, painted with unusual | 
breadth and certainty, is covered with short gray hair; gray 
eyebrows surmount the deep-set eyes, and the face is firmly 
moulded and fresh in color. The figure is seated in a red-backed 
chair against a dark olive background. The portrait represents 
a fine example of Raeburn’s art, forcibly direct in characteriza- 


tion and virile in execution.

The ceiling and its cross beams, and the walls decorated 
with three landscapes in black frames, have a prevailing tone 
of olive drab; the deepest shadow lying in the large chimney 
corner on the right, which is. surmounted by a high shelf with - 
arow of pewter plates. Near the foreground, beside a table 
covered with a scarlet cloth, on which rests a blue and gray 
jug with pewter lid, stands a lady with her back to us. A 
round cap of pale rose silk is set at the back of her blond-gray 
ringlets; a broad white bertha, edged with lace, covers her 
shoulders, and her black silk gown is looped up in panniers 
over an old-gold underskirt. The bertha catches the highest 
light, which also illuminates the white cap and apron of a lady 
who sits in the centre of the picture, looking up from her needle- 
work, which lies on a black cushion on her lap, to talk to the 


visitor. In the background, to the right, two little girls sit 
facing each other, also engaged in needlework, while a third 
stands behind, watching them. In the foreground, to the right, 
is a leather-backed chair, over the seat of which hangs an olive- 
green cloak.

Buildings with gray-green walls and reddish roofs stand 
on both sides of the picture; the water stretching between 
in a narrowing vista, bounded in the distance, where the canal 
makes a turn, by a horizontal line of houses and towers, softly 
outlined against the greenish-blue sky. The scene is alive 
with shipping and gondolas. One of the latter, propelled by 
two gondoliers, is crossing in front of the picture, and a little 
back of it lies a small vessel from which a man has just landed 
in a boat. He is mounting the steps which lead to the quay, 
upon the right, where figures are grouped beside a house that 
has two arched windows with open shutters, one above the 
other, a woman appearing on the balcony of the upper one. 
Beyond this shows a dome surmounted with a cupola, and some- 
what farther on the quay projects in a little point on which 
stands a low building like a lighthouse. The picture is beau- 
tiful in color, with truthful rendering of the aerial perspective, 
and presents a characteristic example of Canaletto’s skill in 
architectural portraiture.

The subject of this beautiful portrait is the painter Richard 
Evans, who reciprocated the compliment by painting a portrait 
of Lawrence, now in the National Portrait Gallery, London. 

He is represented as far as the elbow, facing to the right, 
wearing a reddish-brown velvet surtout with a broad collar of 
brown fur. Round his neck is wound a white cravat, fastened 
in a litthe bow. The face is. inclined to the front, the eyes 
glancing towards the left; the flesh tints are clear and fresh, and 
the expression of the features at once spiritual and manly. The 
soft golden hair is parted at the side and brushed over the top 
of the head in waves, which encroach a little upon the forehead.

A familiar feature of English country life is the carrier’s 
cart which makes periodical visits to the neighboring market

by a chestnut and a white horse, returning home at sunset. The 
road is narrow, coming round from behind a rocky bank on the 
right, and overarched by an ash tree on the opposite side. The 
foreground presents a mingling of mellow brown tones, while 
the sky is a greenish blue, with masses of white cloud; the 
whole scene being penetrated with the softly palpitating warmth 
of a summer evening.

The mountain, ‘‘ Arthur’s Seat,’’ as the Welsh name im-

the tints growing fainter as the ridges recede against the pale 
gray primrose sky. The broad plain is intersected by a stream s 
which is crossed in the middle distance by a wooden bridge set 
on stone piles, and in the foreground rushes, foaming and blue, 
between slabs of drab rock coated with brown weeds. To the 5 
right is a bright patch of yellow ground, out of which crops a 
formation of rocks, like ruins. Along a distant road, on this 
side of the picture, two horsemen are galloping, and two figures 
appear on the rocks on the left of the foreground. The picture 
is excellent in perspective, with considerable charm of color and 
atmospheric effects. |

columned entrance to a farther room; while overhead the 
ceiling is draped with a grayish-green velarium. In the centre 
of the group is a lady in a short golden-brown dress with full 
skirt, that she slightly lifts as she extends her hand to a man 
in shabby black suit, perhaps an author, who holds his hat 
behind his back. To the left of these figures an actor in full 
curly wig, with a crimson drapery across his body, extends his 
hand towards the visitor, turning at the same time to a lady 
on his right, as if to introduce her. She stands behind a table 
on which rests a bowl of fruit, towards which one hand is 
stretched, while the other is placed on her breast. On the 
right of the composition is a row of musicians, ranged beneath 
a sculptured composition of two figures that surmount a marble 
slab supported by caryatides. In front of this group sit two 
ladies, one holding a sheet of music, the other playing on a lute. 
In front of the table a servant in black livery is on his knee,

attached to the drab wall. Through the open door a woman’s 
form is visible, moving away; while outside, a little child stands 
by a sleeping spaniel, and the buxom daughter of the house is 
serving beer to a traveller, probably the owner of the pack- 
donkey which is waiting in the centre of the road. A child 
stands beside the man, and on his other side is a laborer, hold- 
ing a pipe to his mouth. In the shadow on the left of the 
foreground is a tall wooden pump. The picture is warm and 
luscious in color, with extremely handsome arrangement of light 
and shade, offering an unusually fine example of Morland’s art.

Near the centre of the front a boat is rising to a wave, 
which breaks in spray over its bow. In the fore part a sailor in 
red cap is holding the sheet of the bellying sail, while in the 
stern three disciples kneel with hands extended in entreaty 
towards the Saviour, asleep with His head resting on His hand. 
Behind Him is another figure, with hands together in prayer. 
The olive-colored water rocks up and down, brown in the hol- 
lows, and with silver flickers of foam on the tops of the waves. 
Its movement is magnificently rendered, and with a purity and 
vigor of color thoroughly characteristic of the young Van de 
Velde, the best marine painter of the Dutch school of the 
seventeenth century. Some distance off, on the left, a two- 
masted vessel is visible, with mainsail spread; and still farther 
off, to the right, a three-masted ship heels over before the wind. 

Dark olive clouds, surrounding a lighter surface, fill the left 
of the sky, which towards the right is broken up into drab and 
creamy clouds with a trace of blue.

The figure is shown to the waist, the left hand being 
slipped into the open front of the coat, and the right arm 
extended to the edge of the frame, as if the hand, which is not 
visible, were resting on a cane. The pose is three-quarters to 
the left, with the head, however, inclined to the right, and the 
eyes glancing in the opposite direction. The powdered wig on 
each side of the parting rises in crisp rolls, which are continued 
at the sides, and terminate in loose curls on the shoulders. The 
coat of deep blue velvet, lined at the turnover of the collar and 
cuffs with old rose, is fastened at the waist, leaving visible, in 
the interval above, a strip of white shirt. White ruffles with 
lace edging hang below the cuff, and two long bands of lace 
form the cravat. Behind the figure is a mass of reddish-brown 
masonry, with a slim tree-stem to the right; and farther, green 
trees under a warm gray sky, which has a glint of blue at 
the top. 

The picture, despite a little affectation in the pose, is a fine 
example of the portraits of that period, being painted with dis- 
tinguished skill.

Very charming in its simple grace is this portrait of a lady, 
the head and bust turned slightly to the left, before an olive-drab_ 


background. Her thin white gown, of Empire design, clings 


closely to the bosom and to the cushion of the shoulder, and a

eyebrows, large dark gray eyes, delicate nostrils and long upper — 
lip. On the crown of the head the golden-brown hair, parted

114—PORTRAIT OF WILLIAM WORDSWORTH 


This artist, during his long career, painted the portraits of 
many celebrated men, among them more than one of Words- 
worth. There is one in the National Portrait Gallery in Eng- 
land, executed evidently at about the same time as the present, 
for the expression of the head is precisely similar, though the 
arrangement differs, the figure being full length and facing in 
the opposite direction, while the costume varies. 

In the present portrait the figure is shown half length, 
facing three-quarters to the right, but with the head, as in the 
other portrait, slightly bent forward, evidently a characteristic 
gesture. A brown cloak with broad velvet collar hangs over the 
suit of black broadcloth. Above the high forehead the soft white 
hair is drawn carefully over the top of the head, a darker wisp 
curling over the right temple, while the hair whitens again above 
the ears, below which are trimmed white whiskers. The eyes 
are fixed in an earnest, tender gaze; the nose is long and sensi- 
tively modelled, with a fine receding curve of the nostril, and the 
under lip projects a little from the sweet, placid mouth. The 
beautiful face, so benignant, grave and kindly, has been studied 
and rendered with most affectionate discernment. The portrait, 
indeed, is one of very choice and peculiar charm.

mule, her tall white cap making a conspicuous spot, as do many 
other similar caps, sprinkled among the crowd at the end of the 
street. Here the houses converge, with a view beyond of two

a shallow pool reflects the sky and the brown tones of a bank on 
the left. At the top of this stands a cottage with plastered 
walls and two brick chimneys, which has a little walled yard in 
which clothes are hanging to dry. Down by the water’s edge a 
woman kneels before a tub, washing linen, and near her stands a 
man with hands in his pockets. Upon the opposite side of the 
foreground a brown sail lies on a wall, hanging to the ground, 
where two baskets and a besom lie. Farther back, on the right, 
rises in gradual slopes a yellowish-gray, grassy cliff on which 
three figures appear. In the centre of the middle distance is 
a peep of sea under a horizon wreathed in gray, above which 
mounts a large cluster of white cloud. The picture is rich and

atmosphere.

118—ORIGINAL SKETCH FOR “THE SPANISH 
MARRIAGE”’ 


a 


When ‘‘ The Spanish Marriage’’ (La Vicaria) was exhibited 
at Goupil’s in 1870, Fortuny was little more than thirty years of 
age. It produced an explosion of enthusiasm and passed into the 
possession of the Marquis of Carcano. 

In the disposition of the figures and the general arrange- 
ment of the scene the finished picture shows no deviation from 
this original sketch. The color scheme also, when allowance has 
been made for the elaboration of the background of the sacristy, 
with its profusion of rococo decoration, is practically identi- 
eal; with, however, two important exceptions—the officer who 
stands with his back to the front wears in the sketch a scarlet 
coat, which in the final working out of the scheme was changed 
to cabbage green; while a rose silk dress was substituted for the 
white costume of one of the attendant ladies. 

These very differences give a value to the sketch, illustrat- 
ing the artist’s method of refining upon an idea which he had 
already realized with such vividness and assurance that he 
needed only to stand by it for a successful conclusion.

the atmosphere, while nearer to the front rises a blocky mass of 
lavender and gray, under which a cathedral stands by the water- 
side. On the left of the foreground a zigzag wall mounts up 
the grassy slope, at the top of which, under some bushes, sit two 
figures. Beyond them rise a round tower and rampart walls, 
while in the middle distance a rock, which hangs precipitously 
over the water, is crowned with a pile of buildings, faintly seen 
against the sky. |

1 The architectural setting is by Van Deelen, the figures 
by Van Herp. Im the foreground, supported by Corinthian 
columns, is a lofty portico, projecting from a church on the 
right. Near the door sits a beggar, and on the paved floor a 
lady in amber-colored gown with a greyhound by her side is 
talking to a gentleman in red. Behind them the edge of the 
portico is crossed by a balustrade, bordering the street, on 


the opposite side of which stands a large church front. Down the 
left side of it runs a narrow street, leading to a walled-in mass 
| of buildings, surmounted by a tower. On the left of this street 
. is an immense arch, under the curve of which appear other 
| structures and the blue sky. The streets are animated with 
figures, single and in groups. 
The picture is a good example of a painter whose works 
are rare.

sits upon a beech trunk. Onthe higher ground above him is a 
row of three stone cottages with thatched roofs, the one at the

The scene of this picture realizes the lines of Byron in 
‘Childe Harold,’’ canto iv., stanza clxxix.: 
“Upon the watery plain 
The wrecks are all thy deed, nor doth remain 
A shadow of man’s ravage, save his own. 
. The vile strength he wields 
For earth’s destruction thou dost all despise; 
Spurning him from thy bosom to the skies, 
And send’st him shivering in thy playful spray 
And howling to his Gods, where haply lies 
His petty hope in some near port or bay, 
And dashest him again to earth—there let him lay.” 


On the fore shore lies a body, and across the stretch of rollers 
a ship is wrecked upon a craggy reef. Behind it the sun is sink- 
ing, yellow in a flood of scarlet, over which hang brown slaty 
clouds, permeated by the glow. To the right of the vessel, 
breakers are dashing upon the base of a cliff that rears up in 
successive strata of rocks. Outlined against this a seabird with 
white body and black wings is swooping towards the body.

_184—PORTRAIT OF ANNE OF AUSTRIA 


The subject of this portrait, born in 1601, was the daughter 
of Philip III. of Spain and wife of Louis XIII. of France. 
After the latter’s death she was made regent during the minor- 
ity of her son, Louis XIV., and, with her minister Mazarin, she 
had to meet the troubles caused by the Civil War of the Fronde. 
In 1661 she retired to the Convent of Val de Grace, where she 
died five years later. | 

Her figure is shown three-quarters length, inclined towards 
the left, standing before the base of an immense column and a 
voluminous crimson curtain. With her left hand she lifts her 
mantle, while her right rests upon a crown, which lies on a 
cushion decorated with gold filigree and tassels. The sump- 
tuous robes are painted with remarkable subtlety and decision. 
The gown is of gold brocade, with touches of geranium red and 
silver, the bodice brought to a point at the waist with three 
pear-shaped pearls at the top and bunches of pearls in a series 
below it. The full sleeve is looped up over the elbow with a 
jewelled armlet, under which is a frill of lace and silk. From 
her shoulders hangs a mantle of blue velvet, sown with fleur-de- 
lys, bordered with an alternate device of a rosette and true-lov- 
er’s knot, and lined with ermine. Her dark hair is piled above 
her head, with here and there the sparkle of a diamond.

compact horizontal band across the middle distance. The water 
in front is blue like the sky, but spread with flots of buff, red

the vessels and of several small boats that spot the front, still 
repeating the horizontal direction. In the foremost of these, a 
drab gondola, with a water jar hanging over its side, is a party 
of fishermen, one of them playing an accordion, while another 
stands up holding a bottle.

Behind her are two tree-trunks and a distant slope of brownish 
green grass under a white sky with tawny clouds. ‘The bright 
chestnut hair, kept in place by a pin and comb, is drawn off her 
square forehead; the eyes are very far apart, the nose large, and 
the lips broad and full. In her ears are little crosses formed of 
four stones, and a chain of gold links is worn over the edge of 
the chemise. ‘The demureness of the face finds a response in 
the formal sobriety of the costume. <A tippet of white muslin, 
trimmed with two bands of lace, is fastened by three little string- 
bows over the black velvet bodice. The latter has a short skirt 
open down the front over a brown watered silk petticoat, faced 
and edged with bands of velvet. The child’s right arm hangs by 
her side with buff gloves held in the hand. 

The costume is painted with skill, and the whole picture

THIRD EARL SPENCER 


Lord Althorp, who succeeded to the earldom in 1884, was 
born in 1782. After being educated at Harrow and Trinity 
College, Cambridge, he entered Parliament in 1804 as a sup- 
porter of Fox. From 1806 until the passage of the Reform Bill 
in 1832 he represented the county of Northampton, and was one 
of the leaders of the opposition. During Earl Grey’s adminis- 
tration, 1830 to 1834, he served as Chancellor of the Exchequer. 
On his father’s death he retired from political life and devoted 
himself to agricultural science, being the first President of the 
Royal Agricultural Society, 1838. He was an active member 
of the Roxburgh Club for reprinting rare books. 

The face is of peculiar sweetness and noble gravity. The 
golden brown hair waves softly over the top of the head, and at 
the side is brushed to the front. The eyes are deeply set, the 
nose delicately curved at the nostril, and the mouth short, with 
a full underlip, while the broad jaw narrows sharply at the chin. 
The young man is seated with his left arm resting on a table, 
the hand holding a quill pen. The figure faces three-quarters

of the bedchamber to the second wife of James II., Mary d’ Este

The lady is represented standing in a walled recess on the 4 
right of which a fountain is built out. The design of it is a boy : 
struggling with a dolphin, the water spouting from its nostrils 
and gushing from its mouth into a shell-like basin. On this the

pointing towards the water. Her head leans slightly towards 
the left, and the fair hair, brushed negligently off her beautiful 
forehead and hanging behind in curls, is veiled with blue silk 


drapery that droops down her right side and is looped over the 
arm. The robe, of citron-colored silk, fits loosely over the fine

In this splendid example of Van Dyck’s courtly grace of

to the knees, facing three-quarters to the left. The right arm | 
is laid upon a table and the beautiful hand suspended from ; 
its edge, while the other hand rests upon her lap, and on its 
upturned palm lie two roses. The head is held with graceful 
erectness against the golden brown background; the hair being : 
of a golden red, disposed in little ringlets over the forehead and 
falling behind in a mass of smaller ones, held in place by a pearl 
comb. Her earrings and necklace are also composed of pearls. 
The robe is of pale blue satin; the bodice cut low and softly 
curving to the bosom, while the flowing sleeves hang low down 
in a point, the upper part being drawn above the elbow in 
voluminous folds, and slashed so as to show the white under- | 
sleeve. The costume is painted with consummate skill, and its | 
masses of light and shade make a composition of delicate ) 
sumptuousness. A large cluster of dark stones decorate the | 

| 


breast, and from it hangs a string of gold fruit alternating with 
birds. The brown liquid eyes gaze out of the picture; the nose 
is long and slender, and the mouth very sweetly pursed. A 


mingling of nobility and exquisiteness characterizes the whole 
portrait. 

The picture is from Ashtead Park, Surrey, which in the 
reign of Charles I. was in the possession of Thomas, Duke of 
Norfolk. This nobleman was a cultivated patron of the arts, 
and held office at court until Parliamentary troubles reached a 
critical stage in 1642, when he was intrusted with the duty of 
escorting Queen Henrietta Maria and the Princess Mary to 4 
Holland. He remained abroad until 1646, when he set out a 
to return to England but died on the journey. FE

1447—PORTRAIT OF LORD CLIFFORD AND LADY 
JANE, HIS SISTER 


A curious mingling of natural grace and allegorical affecta- 
tion appears in this handsome picture. The children are grouped 
under the spreading foliage of a chestnut tree in a garden, 
beyond which is the suggestion of a rampart wall, their little 
bodies tricked out in splendid raiment, designed according to 
prevailing notions of classical garb, and in the case of the boy 
grotesquely so. Yet, with all this bravery of artifice, the faces 
have the charming naturalness of childhood. 

The little girl is seated on a stone, her trim figure erect in 
profile and the face turned towards us with an expression of 
serious sweetness. Over a white chemise with loosely flowing 
sleeves, a drapery of peach-bloom satin is draped from the 
shoulders, descending to the ground, where it is bunched in 
sumptuous folds. From her right shoulder a reddish plum-col- 
ored mantle falls over her arm. The boy, whose long ringlets 
resemble a Restoration wig in miniature, stands to the left of 
his sister, holding a bow and arrows. His costume consists of a 
deep blue tunic, trimmed down the front with gold lace, gray- 
ish blue tights and a cothurnus, the straps of which, with gems at 
their intersections, extend half way up the calf. A drapery of 
crimson silk, fastened at his back, lies across the right thigh and 
covers the left leg. The various fabrics are painted with con- 
summate skill.

The actor stands with his weight on ae left leg, advancing 

the other and resting his drab gloved hand upon a cane. He is 
clad in a leather jerkin, warm buff in color, with a fringe of a 
leather upon the shoulder and tags of the same running down | 
the front. The collar and cuff are of lace, and a drab bandolier i | 
crosses his breast, holding a small sword which shows at the | 
back between his legs. These are encased in breeches and 
stockings. From his left shoulder hangs a mantle of yellowish 
brown material, covering the left arm, which rests upon the hip. 
The fine head is bald, with light hair falling loose around the 
ears and neck; and the eyes, as Fanny Burney noted in her 
diary, are brilliant and piercing. Behind this strikingly alert 
figure are two columns and a beech trunk, with a distant view 
of pale greensward under a whitish sky that grows to dark slate 
above. 

The picture is mounted in the original frame.

The grand rock, crowned with its once impregnable for- 
tress, for it now needs the protection of advance earthworks, 
is seen from the river; a paddle-wheel steamer, bright with 
passengers, and a boat, alongside of it, occupying the left of the 
foreground. Another boat, with figures in it, is moving in 
mid-stream, and a third lies under the opposite bank. Follow- 
ing the course of this is a wall, with square towers at intervals, 
beyond which is a row of steeply roofed houses, some of them 
with double tiers of dormer windows. Behind them mounts 
the rock, shrouded in soft transparent shadow at the base, lu- 
minous atop with rosy yellow light, under a pale-greenish sky, 
dappled and skeined with vapor. To the right, connected by 
a high viaduct, is a darker mass of rock and ruin, golden brown 
in the shadow. ‘The picture is an exceedingly beautiful exam- 
ple, with a noble simplicity of composition, exquisiteness of 
color and lovely effects of atmosphere.

2ST. MATTHEW CALLED FROM THE RECEIPT 
OF CUSTOM 


g Figures, realistically represented in the costumes of the 
4 seventeenth century, are congregated round a table, to the left 
of which is the Christ in blue and red drapery, with a nimbus 
| a above His head, who leans back with outstretched hand beckon- 
l -- ing St. Matthew. The latter sits upon the right of the table 
a with his arm upon it, leaning forward; his strong face, sur- 
mounted by a black biretta, earnestly fixed upon the Christ. 
_ Prominently catching the light in the centre of the group is a 
it - young man who turns from makirg entries in a book to note the 
| ‘cause of the interruption. A white feather dangles from his 
cap, and his figure is clad in a buff doublet with slashed sleeves 
and white loose breeches. ‘To the right of him an old man’s 
head is bowed over the table as he poises a pair of scales. Be- 
hind him appear two other figures, one in partial shadow; and 
two faces are also visible above the Christ’s shoulder. 

The figures are strongly drawn, with pronounced skill in the 
foreshortening; the heads are finely modelled and full of charac- 
ter, and the fabrics painted with truth and feeling. The canvas 
is a museum picture of notable interest. 


Height, 57 inches; length, 88 inches.

This dignitary, a member of the Pesaro family, stands 
against a dark olive background, his figure seen to the knees, 
facing three-quarters to the left. The face is ruddy, with short 
black hair and a dark brown mustache and pointed beard, re- 
lieved against the white of a lace collar. He is clad in a black 
velvet doublet, edged with brown fur, the sleeve hanging full 
and short over the black velvet sleeve of the under-tunic. 
Upon the breast, by a brown cord, hangs a pendant with an 
amber-colored gem in the centre and a gold star suspended from 
the bottom. He rests his right hand on a table covered with a 
crimson and black cloth, on which shows the edge of a gold 
casket, while his right hand, hanging down, holds a white hand- 
kerchief. Rings encircle the first finger of the right hand and 
the little one of the left.

rude wall of earth, which separates them from the foreground. 
Here on the mossy turf, which shows in places the brown 
___undersoil, five cows are grouped. In the centre, facing the 
__ cottage, stands a brown one, under whose belly shows the white 
i face of a dark dun that lies beyond her. In front of her lies 
i another of similar color, and at this one’s back a black and white 
cow is extended ahead of the standing one. To the right of this 
group a white and dun is feeding, facing towards the water, 
which follows the irregular curvings of the shore upon the right 
as far as the middle distance. At this point a road ascends to 
the right, up which a man and his dog are following a cow and 


some sheep. In the background rise wooded hills under a 
j grayish white sky, the right side of which is filled with creamy 
| cloud. 

13 The natural character of the cows, their impressive bulk of 
| form and richness of color, are splendidly realized, and in the 
farther portion of the picture there is a charming contrast of 
| delicate tones. It is in every respect a most notable example.

SIR JOSHUA REYNOLDS, P.R.A. 


The subject of this superb portrait, a brother of George 
Grenville, the author of the notorious Stamp Act, allied himself 
in politics with William Pitt, his brother-in-law, by whom he 
was promoted to the offices of Lord of the Admiralty and Lord 
Privy Seal. His correspondence and that of his brother George 
with Pitt was edited as ‘‘The Grenville Papers’’ in 1852 by 
W.J. Smith. He was born in 1711 and died at Stowe in 1779. 

He is represented in the robes of a peer and decorated with 
the ribbon and regalia of the garter, his left hand resting on his 
breast and the other extending downwards, holding his coronet. 
He wears a powdered wig, bunched over the ears and tied 
behind, and stands almost in profile facing to the right, with the 
weight of the body on the left leg and the other slightly bent 
back from the knee. An ermine tippet reaches to his elbows, 
and below it the scarlet cloak descends and masses itself in 
ample folds on the floor. His coat is of brown silk embroidered 
with gold; the breeches are crimson, the stockings and shoes 
white. The regalia that hangs round his neck is a chain of gold 
tie-knots, alternating with jewels of blue enamel, and from it 
suspends a mounted Saint George in conflict with the dragon.

Associate; but full membership was delayed until 1829, when he was in his 
fifty-third year. Resided at Hampstead, near London. His house was full

Born at Ornans, France, 1819. Commenced to study law in Paris, but 
drifted round the studios and studied the old masters in the Louvre. In-

the collections in London. But he worked in the neighborhood of Norwich, 
forming with a few local painters and his own pupils the little “ Society of 
Artists,” founded in 1805. He rarely exhibited in London, but visited

Supreme Court of Justice. In 1672 his name was presented to the Stadt- 
holder William III. as nominee for membership in the regency of Dor- 
drecht. Im fact, he was a person of much consequence, and, as his name 
does not appear in the Guild, some have thought he practised art as an 
amateur. In his early years he painted still-life, birds, stables and some- 
times portraits, signed A. C.; later, figures, cattle, landscapes and water 
scenes, signed with his whole name. Died in Dordrecht, 1691.

brandt.” His death occurred after 1649.

Haarlem, Delft and Antwerp; finally settled at Arnemuyden, where he 
became burgomaster. His architectural subjects, in which Van Herp, 
Palamedes, Stevens and Wouverman supplied the figures, are distinguished 
for their fine lineal and aérial perspective. Died in 1673.

DORE, GUSTAVE PAUL 


Born at Strasburg in 1833. Real name Dorer, which he modified into 
the French equivalent. When fifteen years old he was invited to contribute 
to the “ Journal pour rire.” His first oil-painting admitted to the Salon 
was the “ Battle of Alma” (1855), but he did not attract attention until 
1863. He executed a number of ambitious historical subjects of immense 
size, such as “ Christ Leaving the Pretorium ”; but they did not add to his 
permanent reputation, which rests most firmly on his wonderful versatility 
as an illustrator of books. He possessed considerable ability as a sculptor. 
Died in Paris, 1883.

DROUAIS, FRANCOIS HUBERT 


Born in Paris, 1727. Studied first under his father, Hubert Drouais,

DYCK, SIR ANTHONY VAN 


Born of a good family at Antwerp, 1599, the seventh child of twelve. 
His father was a silk merchant, his mother skilful as a flower painter and 
embroiderer. When ten years old he was apprenticed to Hendrik van Balen, 
and in 1615 entered the Academy of Rubens, remaining five years as pupil 
and assistant. The master procured him an introduction to James I., whose 
portrait he painted at Windsor, and assisted him to visit Italy. Here he 
painted the portrait of Cardinal Bentivoglio, now in the Pitti Gallery. After 
five years’ stay he returned to Antwerp, and again Rubens helped him to 
favor. He paid an unsuccessful visit to England in 1627, and for three 
years lived in Antwerp and Brussels, painting religious pictures and por- 
traits and etching the portraits of painters. In 1632 he accepted the 
invitation of Charles I., painted portraits of the king, queen and royal family 
now at Windsor, was knighted and appointed Court painter. He lived in 
sumptuous style at Eltham, and in the winter at Blackfriars. Here he 
died in 1641, and was buried in the old Cathedral of St. Paul, near the 
tomb of John of Gaunt.

After his three years’ stay in Rome, during which he studied Raphael and 
made sketches of Roman life, he was sent to Morocco by the government to 
paint the incidents of General Prim’s campaign. In 1866 he went to Paris 
and was introduced by Zamacois to Goupil, and the following year visited 
Madrid and married the daughter of Madrazo, director of the Madrid 
Museum. With the exception of a year in Paris (1869-1870) and three 
years in Spain, he spent the rest of his life in Rome. He died there in 1874.

GAINSBOROUGH, THOMAS, R.A. 


Born in 1727 at Sudbury, Suffolk, fourteen miles from Constable’s birth- 
place. Apprenticed to a goldsmith in London, who introduced him to 
Gravelot, an engraver. The latter instructed him in drawing, and procured 
him admission to the St. Martin’s Lane Academy. After an ineffectual 
attempt to practise portrait-painting, he returned home and married Mary 
Burr, a young lady of moderate means. Fifteen years he resided in Ipswich, 
painting portraits and landscapes, and then moved to the fashionable water- 
ing-place, Bath. His success was pronounced. In 11784 he moved to London, 
and was received as the rival of Reynolds. He died in 1788.

HERP, GUILLIAM VAN 


Born at Antwerp in 1614. At twelve years old he was apprenticed to 
Darman Wortelmans at Antwerp, and two years later to Hans Birmans. In

an assistant of Benjamin West. In 1785 he set up a studio of his own with

TURN ER, JOSEPH MALLORD WILLIAM, R.A. 


Born in 17°75, in Maiden Lane, Covent Garden. The son of a barber.

fields with Girtin, and in washing in backgrounds of architectural drawings. i 
In 1789 he became a student of the Academy, and the next year exhibited i 
for the first time. Between 1790 and 1797 he explored nearly all England | : 
and Wales south of the Humber. In 1807 he began the “ Liber Studiorum,” 4 
which has been called the most satisfactory monument to his genius. It was 4 


to rival Claude’s “ Liber Veritatis,”? and with the same zeal to beat all com- 
petitors he set himself to rival Claude’s landscapes, which he was believed 
to have accomplished in “ Dido Building Carthage” (1815). Then fol- 
lowed his series of color dreams, culminating in “ Ulysses Deriding Poly- 
phemus ” (1829) ; while the “ Fighting Temeraire,”’ exhibited in 1839, was 
the last in which his full power was shown. He died in 1851 in a small house 
in Chelsea, whither he was accustomed to retreat at intervals.

VELASQUEZ, DIEGO RODRIGUEZ DE SILVA Y 


Born at Seville, 1599. Pupil of Herrera el Viejo and of Francisco 
Pacheco, whose daughter he married in 1618. In 1623 he was summoned to 
Madrid by the Duke of Olivarés, who presented him to the king. He 
painted an equestrian portrait of the latter and received the appointment of 
Court painter. The visit of Rubens in 1628 made him desire to visit Italy. 
After spending a year in Rome and some time in Naples, he returned to 
Madrid, to remain there eighteen years. From 1649-1651 he was again in 
Italy, collecting pictures for the royal galleries. Before his return he was 
appointed quartermaster-general of the household, and during the last nine 
years of his life supported the anxieties of his officewhile creating his greatest 
masterpieces. Finally, the festivities connected with the marriage of Louis 
XIV. and the Infanta Maria Teresa proved too much for his strength. He 
died shortly after his return to Madrid, 1660.

drawing. In his eighteenth year moved to Philadelphia and thence to New 
York, executing portraits. Visited Italy in 1760 and remained about three 
years. Thence he went to London, where his reception was so encouraging 
that he sent for the lady to whom he was engaged, and settled down to spend 
nearly sixty years of his life there. In 1768 he was one of the four commis- 
sioned to draw up the plan for the Royal Academy, and in 1772 was ap- 
pointed historical painter to the king. On the death of Sir Joshua he was

good teacher, and later in the Academy schools. He obtained several premi- 
ums from the Society of Arts, assisted in some decorations at Brocket Hall, 
Lord Melbourne’s seat, and at Vauxhall, and met with good success in small 
full-length portraits. Then he eloped to Dublin with the wife of Gresse, a 
painter, and made a living by painting portraits. Returning to London, he 
first exhibited at the Academy in 1771, and became identified with rural and 
domestic subjects. He died in 1801.

Born in Lambeth, London, 1782. Son of Edward Williams, engraver. 
He was the pupil of his maternal uncle, James Ward, and was afterwards 
apprenticed to a carver and gilder. But meeting with some success in minia- 
tures and landscape, he turned to the latter, and gained reputation for moon- 
light scenes. Later in life he settled at Barnes, and painted the scenery of 
the Thames. He died at Barnes in 1855. :

education, he was placed under Thomas Wright, a portrait painter in 
London. He was employed in 1749 to paint full-length portraits of the 
Prince of Wales and Duke of York. He visited Italy, where, under the advice 
of Zuccarelli, the fashionable landscape painter, he devoted himself to land- 
scapes. After six years he returned to London to find Zuccarelli esteemed, 
but his own landscapes little regarded. He was an original member of the 
Academy, and between 1770 and 1780 a regular contributor. But his 
pictures did not find purchasers, and he lived in great straits until his ap-

misers in interiors or country fair scenes. In 1660 was appointed Dean of 
the Guild of Haarlem. Visited England after the Restoration, and painted

to the king. ‘Then he began to acquire reputation for portraits of actors in 
character. George III. gave him letters of introduction to the Grand Duke 
of Tuscany, and from Florence he went to Vienna to execute a commission 
for Maria Theresa. He spent from 1779-1783 in England, and ee some 
years in India. He died near Kew in 1810.
